Been quite pleased with my Fox Flux models for the past few years. It's nothing spectacular but the fact that I don't have any complaints is about all I could ever ask of a helmet. Well, that and save my life when I smash it.

Also a fan of the Fox Flux. I've taken a good header and it didn't even flench. My only knock on it would be it's TOO breathable (read - any bug flying in the general area of the helmet seems to wind up stuck to my sweaty dome). Visor is removable if you want to go all-out-rager-xc with it.

yo pininator, please dont ever get that helmet or think about it, i will personally never stop giving you shit for it...

i keep it real with a classic giro flak, use it for dirt jumping, trail rippin, or even some casual DH cruzin. need the ventin' for the uphill? no problem, shredding back down? throw on some goggles, bust out the lopes style. simple

Fair enough...I've seen a couple around town, but didn't have a chance to talk it up with the owners. I would only consider one for TRUE XC/AM riding...nothing else.

Thats is exactly why I wear this at all times! Sucks in the heat sometimes but then I just think about those surprise 13k(or whatever) that could arise. May sound cheesy but safety first. Its most important.

I'm with him. Mine has been bomb proof and very comfy. Had it for a few years now.
